Hello everyone, We are urgently seeking another person to join our Writing-Intensive Learning team as soon as possible. The position is currently listed as limited term, running till August 31, 2006, but there is a high probability that it will be regularized into an ongoing position either before or by the end of the contract. We need someone at the PhD level but if you know of a mature and promising candidate who is close to finishing, please pass on this posting. We are looking forward to an exciting year, enhancing our practice with ideas from new people and building on a now well-established good reputation across the university. While we clearly are not able to guarantee anything to anyone, we are confident that our unit will grow and be well supported. Thank you for any contacts you can make to help us find someone who will enjoy the challenges of SFU's initiative in developing writing in the disciplines. I hope to see you at Inkshed this year, Wendy SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Limited-Term Lecturer Position The unit for writing-intensive learning at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a full-time limited term lecturer to participate in the development and implementation of writing intensive courses across the disciplines.
